'Bobby Brown, born 1959, Port Augusta. Brown speaks about his childhood in Coober Pedy, S. Aust. Following the death of his little brother, he and his siblings were removed to foster homes for about two years. Brown outlines how he and his siblings were treated in the various foster homes. When he was about 12 years old, the family was able to reunite. He discusses the loss of their culture, identity and language during the period of separation, and expresses his views on the policy of separation.' Source: Libraries Australia (Sighted 30/09/2010).
